PROGRESSION OF THE AUCTION: Each auction will have a scheduled time that each auctions items will begin closing. If an auction starts closing on a Thursday night at 8PM the first lot will be scheduled to close at that time. Depending on the quantity of items in the auction lots may be scheduled to end anywhere between 10 to 60 seconds a part. Each lot will show a scheduled ending time. If no one bids in the final minute before a lot is scheduled to close that lot will close out. If someone bids within the final minute before that lot is scheduled to close, 3 extra minutes will be added to that lot, and that lot only, to allow additional time for people to bid. The remaining lots behind that lot will continue to close as scheduled unless someone bids in the last minute on that specific lot as well. This is done to prevent a bidder from 'sniping', all bids made in the last minute of the auction will force an item to stay open for an additional 3 minutes. This gives the back up bidder additional time in increase his/her bid if desired. This process will continue until all bidding has ceased and no one bids within the additional 3 minutes that were added. 8. PAYING FOR YOUR PURCHASES: There is no cost to register for an auction.
